Hey I sent you a friend request on discord, im ganick (speaking to size43)

I noticed that when I did gms_optimize_variables ( false, false ), the "other player" still wants to be in sync with the original player object in terms of image index.

Heres a link of it happeninghttps://imgur.com/a/Vtasx9t
What I am trying to do-
I want the "other player" to instantly start moving its image_index and NOT wait for the original player to start moving its image_index.

(Im using image_index+=1 with image_speed=0 in my animations, because built in image_speed can frameskip, and im making a fighting gamge)

Never mind, I got it fixed. Not sure what the issue was but I just scrapped the both player objects and gave it another shot. Works now :)

my simple mode is active and dont sync image_index then i did that:

gms_optimize_variables(1,1)

and when other player joined the room happened that error:

Let's keep this in one place:https://gamemakerserver.com/en/forum/board/1/view/411/

Is there a prebuilt variable for the other player's sprite or do I have to create one?

sprite_index will automatically be synced if you've enabled the simple mode.

In my game TOP DOWN, How do I use gms optimize variables (sync_sprite, sync_image index) ...?

The Sprite_Walk the player is not being synchronized. It is no movement.

Does not look at the mouse pointer.

Nevermind, Here it is:

gms_optimize_variables(1,1);

I used this in Step Event of my Control object like this:
[script]gms_optimize_variables(1,1);[/script]

Why those [script] not works...

I'm using this way now:

gms_optimize_variables(sprite_index,image_index)

The sprite has animation. But does not change angle.

There's no point in replying to random posts of mine to try and get my attention, if I don't reply I simply don't have time to do so :)

You should use the code amkgames suggested:

gms_optimize_variables(1,1);

or if you prefer using the constants instead of numbers:

gms_optimize_variables(true, true);

I tried, but when I add this code in the step returns with error below.

I've got a fix coming for this in a future update. It should be done within the next few days!

That code should be in step event of Control object, I think.
